[Go Soul Natsume's Book of Friends] Guang Xia

No.40 Second round

"Are you Sai?"

Natsume sat blankly at the desk, staring at YURIKO's question, not knowing how to answer it.His fingers unknowingly unfolded and folded Sakai's pocket paper, and he felt a sense of frustration in his heart.

"Tsk, don't toss about that piece of paper anymore, it's all crumpled by you." Teacher Cat said lying on the "Jinto Chess Book".

Because "Jin Teng Chess Book" has been read many times, the corners of the pages are slightly curled up - it is densely filled with Chinese characters.Although Natsume couldn't read it, he could tell the excitement of the writer from the weight of the pen and the water stains around it.

Mr. Zuowei loves Go far beyond Natsume's imagination.He just couldn't figure it out, why Zuowei didn't want to play even a game of chess with players other than Yuriko?

But now, not only the problem at the other end of the network cable made him feel at a loss, but also the answer Zuo Wei left him was enough to make him feel confused.

"Mr. Zuo Wei, if you want, I can lend you my body indefinitely." These were the words he left Zuo Wei last time.

Zuo Wei wrote back to him:

"Thank you. Kishi-kun, you are such a kind child. But I don't want to occupy anyone's life anymore. If Toranojiro exists to fulfill me, then I exist to fulfill Koko. Now you Let me see Guang's excellent chess skills. The gods treat me well. That's enough."

Natsume stared at the words "Then my existence is for the sake of perfection" and was stunned.

Natsume never thought that a person exists to fulfill someone—he never even knew what "perfection" meant.Since he was born, he has been abandoned many times, and he has experienced all kinds of indifference.

"Are you sai?" YURIKO asked again.

Sighing, Natsume closed the screen, folded up Sakai's pocket paper, and put it in the gift box.

This is Zuowei's last note.For three days, Zuo Wei did not appear again.Intuition told Natsume that he would never come again.It's just that the blood on the chessboard is still there.The chess games on TV are still the same.Hikaru Shindo made it to the final round of the Tengen Round Robin, where he battled grand shogi players for months.

"If your existence is to perfect Shinto-kun...then who is it to perfect you who only has a breath left? Mr. Zuowei?"

Natsume muttered sadly to himself.

Natsume didn't know how to clean up the mess.He thought over and over again, the golden smile, Shinto-kun's tears, twelve and a half eyes, the sinister mansion, the fluttering wisteria... He was powerless, and still absent-mindedly recalled the name of the monster, only when he saw the monster on the chessboard. The blood red has not faded, and the mood is slightly stable.

"What did you just say?" Teacher Cat opened his sleepy eyes.

"I'm just saying, fulfillment." Natsume said helplessly, "Mr. Kitty, have you ever thought about who you exist to fulfill?"

"Nonsense!" Teacher Cat showed the expression that made Natsume want to slap him away every time: "Of course it's for my own sake! I'm a pure and noble monster!"

Isn't it just a fat beckoning cat... Natsume despises it.

Hmph, perfect yourself, no wonder you eat and drink so indulgently.

"Don't leave wine bottles everywhere." Natsume said with feigned disgust, "If you dare to dirty Shinto-kun's chess record for me, I'll throw you out of the window immediately."

How could Natsume really threaten Mr. Cat, but Zuowei never showed up, and he was helpless in his heart, so he could only vent by arguing with Mr. Cat.

Teacher Cat said brazenly: "And Natsume, your existence is also to fulfill me. Your body and "Book of Friends" will be mine from now on. So is the yellow-haired boy. His family's good wine collection is used as an offering Mine, a chessboard that big just puts me to sleep."

Natsume was furious.

Natsume forgot how long he had been arguing with Mr. Cat, and fell down on the couch with the Lucky Cat in his arms.That sleep was actually not peaceful.A gust of cold wind howled in from the window, and Natsume curled up, shivering from the cold.

He opened his eyes in a daze, and at this moment he saw bright red eyes.

A slender black figure squatted there holding an umbrella.Isn't this a spell often cast by the monsters of the Jiyue Forest?

He couldn't help but think of Tong and Light Onion, but since Tong is dead, Light Onion has no reason to appear here in the middle of the night...

Natsume thought it was a dream, but at this moment a layer of warmth covered his body, and he quickly fell asleep again.

The next morning, he was woken up by Mr. Cat's actions.Mr. Cat's fat body scrambled up and down the room and the eaves, his light bulb-like eyes were full of anxiety.

"What's the matter... cat-teacher cat?" Natsume covered a big yawn with his hands.

Teacher Cat pointed a pillow at Natsume's head and said:

"Wake up quickly! The yellow-haired boy's chessboard is gone!!"
